This applies to CF5 for sure, and I think all other versions as well.
Delimiters in CF native lists are always single characters.
When reading a list, you may select multiple delimiters, but if you select
,; as the delimiters,
a,b,;c;d
is a list of a and b and c and d with an empty list element (ignored)
between b and c.
In short, if you want to use a double char as a list delimiter, you're going
to have to do it manually (or write your own UDFs to do it). CF doesn't
handle it natively.
